Every so often it’s common to hear people talk about the qualities of the potential soulmate they want to be with. They say all the beautiful traits and quite honestly it is fair to wish for the best. What isn’t right however is failing to understand or accept that as human beings we are all susceptible to frailties? The understanding of this enables us to hold and treat others selflessly – the singular factor that destroys not only individuals but the essence of their existence relative to…

“Myths Presented by the tales of the Gods” . The tragedy of “Prometheus Bound” by Aeschylus discusses the story of Prometheus’s punishment for providing the human race with fire. According to Cupitt, “ a myth is “typically a tradition sacred story of anonymous authorship and archetypal or universal significance which is recounted in a certain community … it tells of the deeds of superhuman beings such as gods” (Maurizio 14).

whispered,“ You should so pull his chair out from under him when he sits down.” I said ” ok, this will be so funny.” The person in front of me slowly went to sit, so I yanked the chair away before he sat down. His body went crashing down on the floor. The howls of laughter made everyone aware of the scene I created. His head smashed the floor, my stomach began to cringe in fear. The teacher rushed over and stared me down. His eyes began to water up, and I soon felt dizzy. She took his hand and…

might happen to his reputation in the community if they find out that his daughter Betty is accused of being a witch. ‘Thomas, Thomas, I pry you, leap not to witchcraft. I know that you… would never wish such a disastrous charge laid upon me… they will howl me out of Salem of such corruption in my house.’ (Act 1, pg.15) For Reverend Parris being corrupt is not on his bucket list of thing to do, so he calls Reverend Hale to prove that he was still fit to carry out his duties in Salem. He is so…

The rain tumbled onto the ground followed by the howls of the wind. In the distance, the leaves flew from trees and branches snapped as the storm covered more of the vast land. My boots appeared to be soaken wet and the trail became more and more opaque. I stood there in the distant woods afraid and alone. My eyes closed and I remembered why I was running. It was not away from my problems, or my fears. Although, it may appear it was; it was away from everything that ever hurt me. Thunder shot…

if they are alright, 'Yes' they say and run off with their friends. Some mothers rush over and make a fuss, the child responds by howling even if they only brushed against a bush, and this often becomes the learned behaviour. Each time the child howls, the mother runs over - it doesn't have to be something 'big' - but the child is totally dependent on its parent. The adult in this case is not doing their child any good by being overly attentive - their child is not building up independence or…

One might argue that Raskolnikov’s actions have been dictated by chance because of two reasons. The first reason is somehow by chance he was at the right spot at the right time and overheard that the pawn lady’s sister, Lizaveta Ivanovna will not be home around seven o’ clock the next day. It was just yesterday when he went to pawn lady’s house to mask out the last details and now he knows when she will be alone in the house. Raskolnikov realizes that this is the only chance that he has and if…
